As our news team nears the gentler end of the workweek — the papers shipped and our to-do lists replaced with notes for the immediately forthcoming publishing cycle — for just a moment, our editors resurface from the detailed depths of production. They email a reminder of the next morning’s editorial planning summit — along with a retrospective look at our work, dash of wit and some pep talk. So we’ve made it a blog series: a behind-the-scenes Final Edit goes public. No ‘Emailgate’ here. –EP

Top notch job this week on both pubs, which finished up delightfully early both days thanks to the fab teamwork of designers Whitney Fincannon, Kristy Adair, Tammy Smith and Managing Editor Jerry Salley. Special kudos to April Morris for her excellent photojournalism in the Greenville Journal on Adams Recycling (reporting and photography) and her informative profile on Sam Konduros in UBJ. Kudos also to Cindy Landrum for a thorough look at public art (including a Spartanburg photo she took herself), to Ashley Boncimino for the Jumpstart profile of Moonclerk, which included forcing the partners up a ladder for a photo (also taken herself) and to Benjamin Jeffers for continuing to prove his ability to tell apart (and photograph) the GOP candidates on a continuous loop through the Upstate.
Two pubs to make us proud once again. Thanks, and see you tomorrow.
